I'm making a sim wide map and need the ability to click anywhere on the map and create a point, then get the region coords of that location and store that into a vector for later use. is this possible to do? Maybe I can set on edge of the prim to 0,0 (No Z value), to 256, 256 and somehow get the mathamagical value?

You'll want to use the new detect-touch-position function...

...which will declare the position touched as between 0.0 and 1.0

then figure out your value between 0 - 255 on that for both x and y.

Not sure how to pull a z-value out of a prim-map though.

Dont need z value with what I'm doing. But you gave me a good idea. Thanks
EDIT: Wait I'm confused. Can you give me a wiki link? I can only find proposed functions like llDetectedTouchST which sounds like what I want...but doesnt exist.

Actually, llDetectedTouchST does exist, and is the one you should use.

Link to llDetectedTouchST

You need to be using the 1.21 client or above for the touch-position to be detected.

Ok cool. I got the new client and an playing with the DetectedTouchST now. Really cool. However how would I get my 0 - 255 XY coords from this? I'm not that great at math so sorry if it's starting me in the face and I cant see it. Any ideas?

The vector returned is in values from 0.0 - 1.0. So multiply that vector by 256 to cover the sim. Make sure the map is such that the lower-left touch corner is the SW corner of the sim.

Friend told me to do that last night actually and it works great.
